The Montana Mining Association (MMA) is a Montana trade association dedicated to helping mining companies, small miners and allied trade members succeed, understand, comply and func-tion in a complex business and regulatory world. The primary purpose of the Montana Mining Associa-tion is to protect and promote the mining industry in the state. The Montana Mining Association monitors issues of concern and provides representation for its members at the state legislature and with various state and federal regulatory agencies. The Montana Mining Association supports national mining initiatives. The Montana Mining Association provides information and education for its members and distributes infor-mation to the general public about the contribution of minerals and mining to our economy and well be-ing. One of the Association’s primary functions is to promote and enhance the image of the mining industry. The Montana Mining Association works in cooperation with other state and national mining associations, natu-ral resource trade associations and groups with similar interests and needs. The Association serves the industry on a wide range of subjects through the expertise of its members. Many of the Association’s activities are conducted by various committees. The Association has active Associ-ates. Committees within the Association are Health and Safety (including the Health and Safety of employ-ees within the Association), Education, Membership and Legislative (including Environmental and Land Use and Political Action Committee)

Mining in Sanders County, Montana, circa 1908Photo: Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture
Montana has made a lot of progress over the last 100 years. Mining has progressed, too.
In the old days, miners focused solely on recovering valuable ore and metals. In fact, the state motto is “Gold and Silver” and Montana is known as “The Treasure State.” But this historical single-minded approach is no longer acceptable to society or modern mining companies.
Today, the old ways are gone, replaced by modern technology, science, and environmental protection.
Modern mining projects are closely monitored by regulators and comply with thousands of pages of federal, state, and local regulations to ensure that the environment is protected. In addition, mining geologists and engineers utilize advances in science and technology that were unknown in the old days.
Key among those improvements is our ability to protect water quality.
Today’s mining projects are designed with multiple layers of environmental protections that must be approved before a single spade of dirt is turned.
Times have changed. So has mining.For example, all of the water at The Rock Creek Project – whether natural ground water, processing water, or rainwater that has fallen on the tailing facility collected through an under drain system – will go through a dual water treatment process to ensure that it exceeds drinking water standards.
In addition, we will protect water quality by ensuringthat the tailing created by processing the quartzite ore – actually just beach sand – remains within the designated storage area to be covered and landscaped to mirror the surrounding habitat both concurrently and at the conclusion of the Rock Creek Project.
To guarantee that this protection extends long after projects are completed, modern mines fund multimillion dollar bonds set by Montana’s Department of Environmental Quality and the U.S. Forest Service.
A lot has changed over the years, but one thing hasn’t changed: mining provides good paying jobs.
For example, The Rock Creek Project will provide 300 jobs paying $50,000 a year, and over its life, Rock Creek will contribute $400 million in salaries, $50 million in tax revenue, and $200 million in revenue for local businesses.
For more information, call 866-921-2294
Mining helped build Montana in the past.With care and commitment, it can help build Montana’s future.

strength alloys. Cobalt gives a distinctive deep blue color to glass, ceramics, inks, paints and varnishes. It is also used as a radioactive tracer in the produc-tion of gamma rays. It is found in vitamin B12 and in organic forms is an ac-tive nutrient for bacteria, algae and fungi
Rhodium (Rh): Used in catalytic converters, corrosive-resistant coating, ster-ling silver and nuclear reactors.
Zinc (Zn): Makes many useful alloys including brass, used for galvanization, zinc oxide used for protective coating.
Elemental Lead (PB) lead-acid storage batteries, ammunition, glass, casting metals, sheet metals etc…
Lime: Used in environmental, metallurgy, construction, chemical/industrial applications.
Talc: Used in many industries such as paper making, plastic, paint and coat-ings, rubber, food, electric cable, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, ceramics,
Garnet: Gemstones and abrasives.
Tungsten: Tungsten’s many alloys have numerous applications: incandescent light bulb filaments, x-ray tubes, electrodes in TIG welding, compounds in tungsten used industrially as a catalysts
3. Mining taxes at work
Mining operations in which metal or gems are extracted are subject to a license tax, which is based on the gross value of the product. The value to which the tax rate is applied is the monetary payment the mining company receives from the metal trader, smelter, roaster or refinery. Revenue col-lected is deposited in the General Fund (58%), Abandoned Mines Account (8.5 %), Reclamation and Development Grants Account (7 %), Hard Rock Mining Impact Trust Account (2.5%) and to counties identified as experi-encing fiscal and economic impact (24%). Of that 24%, 37.5% allocated to a County Trust Account and the remaining 62.5 % is allocated to County and School Districts.
In addition, the mining community pays property, payroll and net proceeds taxes.

Mining’s Economic Contributions
In a report prepared by PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PwC) for the National Mining Associ-ation in October of 2010 based on 2008 data, entitled Economic Contribution of U.S. Mining, one finds a paragraph in the Executive Summary that clearly imparts on the reader the importance of mining in the United States.
“Mining provides jobs, pays salaries, and generates value in all 50 states. The economic contribution of mining is greater than these direct effects. Mining operators purchase inputs from other parts of the economy, and these suppliers in turn purchase goods from other companies. Employees spend wages at local businesses, whose owners in turn spend the proceeds on new supplies and other goods. Governments at the federal, state, and local levels collect taxes on this activity. From a broader perspective, the products produced by U.S. mines provide the raw materials required by the rest of the economy. The ability of the U.S. economy to compete interna-tionally depends on the availability of such inputs.”
According to the PwC report, the five states in which mining accounts for the largest share of total state economic activity are Wyoming (14 percent), West Virginia (11.6 percent), Montana (7.0 percent), Nevada (5.6 percent), and Kentucky (4.6 percent).
This report defines U.S. mining to include activities associated with the mining of coal, metal ores and non-metallic minerals and does not include the economic or employee benefits of coal and uranium-based electricity generation or the manufacturing and other end-users of metal and non-metal minerals.
The total direct, indirect, and induced contributions of mining in Montana is impressive. For example:
Employment Number and Percent of State Total – 23,970 or 3.8% Labor Income in Millions of Dollars and Percent of State Total – $1,305 or 5.6% Contribution to GDP in Millions of Dollars and Percent of State Total – $2720 or
7.0% Taxes Paid in Millions of Dollars – $646
Non-metallic mineral mining, metal ore mining, and support activities comprised, re-spectively, 30 percent, 27 percent, and 7 percent of mining output.

4. What steps does mining take to protect the environment?Montana mining is subject to all Federal and State Environmental Laws and Regula-tions effecting hardrock mining. Before any ground is disturbed mining companies must ensure, by way of adequate bonding, complete reclamation and remediation of exploration and mining sites. In addition update bonding requirements are ensured throughout the life of the mine.
